    Alarms app is unreliable and I cant uninstall it

    I have a Nokia 1520 running windows 8.1 and is automatically updated.

    The Alarms app is unreliable in that sometimes it works but does not repeat.

    I have tried turning the phone off and on but that does not fix the Alarms app problem.

    I want to delete the Alarms app but when I tap on it in my apps list only the "pin to start" option is displayed. There is no delete option. Is this because it is part of the operating system?

    Can anyone help me as I am dependent on a reliable alarm.

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Windows 10 Alarm

    Hi Marc,

    To address your concern, we suggest that you synchronize the system clock with an internet time server in Windows 10. To do that, follow these steps:

    • Open the Control Panel, and click on the Date and Time icon.
    • Click/on the Internet Time tab, and click on the Change settings
      button. If prompted by UAC, click on Yes.
    • Check the Synchronize with an Internet time server box, select a time server, and click on
      Update now. If an error occurred, click on Update now again to see if it may successfully synchronize. When the clock is successfully synchronized, click on
      OK.
    • Click on OK.
    • Go to Alarm & Clock app and test the alarm.

    Let us know how it goes after performing the steps.
